How can I set the time/date on my N810 with Diablo via NTP?

Have you tried OpenNTPD?

There is no documentation for that tool. How is one supposed to use it?

Just install it. It works.

If you want to see if it works in your NIT, in Xterm run as root 'ntpd -d'.

Another good way to get the time set is to use gps-clockd from
http://nitapps.com/
It adjusts the time when ever your GPS connects. In my case this is simplier to setup than ntp, ntpdate or rdate.

But OpenNTPD adjusts whenever you are online (more frequent that the use of GPS, at least in my case). And regarding the setup, you have to do nothing. Easier than that?

Let's assume I am a user and not an admin. I don't have root access so I guess I have no way of knowing?

>>If you want to see if it works in your NIT, in Xterm run as root 'ntpd -d'.

Getting root access is only one search away.

Infact, the home of a very simple program to be root is in this thread.

siralien,

As querty12 said, in http://nitapps.com/ you can find an application to easily become root.

Anyway, let me tell you that I have installed OpenNTPD as soon as I got my NIT but until your question I didn't care about it. I assumed it just worked. Now, after researching, I am sure. Thanks.

Another way to check if everything works fine, it would be to set a wrong time in your NIT and wait until OpenNTPD fixes it.

Siralien,

I just tried what I recommended you: I changed the clock to a random time. One hour later, I checked and the time was right. I don't know exactly when the time was adjusted, but the important thing it's that it was.
